Holy Community

Famous quotes containing the words holy and/or community:

    Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has looked favorably on his people and redeemed them.
    He has raised up a mighty savior for us
    in the house of his servant David,
    as he spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets from of old...
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 1:68-70.

    Populism is folkish, patriotism is not. One can be a patriot and a cosmopolitan. But a populist is inevitably a nationalist of sorts. Patriotism, too, is less racist than is populism. A patriot will not exclude a person of another nationality from the community where they have lived side by side and whom he has known for many years, but a populist will always remain suspicious of someone who does not seem to belong to his tribe.
    John Lukacs (b. 1924)
